Dita Von Teese by David X Prutting For Altoids Temporary Store Opening in Nyc on February 8, 2007

Who is Dita Von Teese, whom this album tries to portray? An expert in the art of kindling desire who has revived the art of American Burlesque? An international cover girl who inflames the imagination of fashion gods and photographers? A lingerie designer and shrewd business woman? A lone wolf in the Los Angeles night whispering enigmatic confessions on a long forgotten answering machine? Alabaster face and cherry red lips, curves often outlined by a black satin sheath, Dita Von Teese sings about the power of seduction and the ecstasy of letting go in an album bearing her name, written and composed by Sébastien Tellier.

Along with her storied career as a burlesque dancer, model, designer, and writer, Dita Von Teese also occasionally works in the world of music. She has appeared in videos for acts such as Green Day, Marilyn Manson, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Monarchy, and Die Antwoord. Von Teese has also collaborated with the latter two acts, lending her whispery vocals to Die Antwoord's "Gucci Coochie" and Monarchy's "Disintegration" and cover of Blur's "Girls Against Boys." In 2016, she curated Soundtrack for Seduction, a compilation of sexy tracks that included Von Teese's version of "A Guy What Takes His Time" and three other songs performed by her.
